10-Year-Old Talks His Way Through Sea-Tac Airport Security
A 10-year-old boy who took a commercial airline flight to Texas, with a stopover and without a ticket last year, at age 9, has reportedly tried again.
This time, Semaj Booker talked his way through the security screening at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport without a ticket, but was stopped as he was getting onto a flight to Sacramento, Calif., en route to Dallas, reports the Seattle Times. Authorities are investigating the security breach; passengers are not supposed to enter that part of the terminal without a boarding pass.
Booker is unhappy living in Washington state, according to his mother, and was trying to visit his grandfather in Texas.
So far, authorities have not pursued any charges.
